You can eliminate timing issues by testing if the DOM node exists.
Invoke the setTimeout if and only if the DOM node does not exist. Here
is an example from the Woodstock 4.1 release-notes, which tests for a
particular function as well.
| <head>
<script>
function init() {
var domNode = document.getElementById("form1:fileChooser");
if (domNode == null || typeof domNode.setChooseButton !=
"function") {
return setTimeout('init();', 10);
}
domNode.setChooseButton("form1:file_button");
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="init();">|
